- In addition to recognized soul and R&B stars James Brown, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, and Aretha Franklin, the members of The Blues Brothers band are notable for their musical accomplishments as well. Steve Cropper and Donald Dunn are architects of the Stax Records sound and were half of Booker T. & the M.G.'s - it is Cropper's guitar heard at the start of the Sam & Dave song "Soul Man". Horn players Lou Marini, Tom Malone, and Alan Rubin had all played in Blood, Sweat & Tears and the Saturday Night Live band. Drummer Willie Hall had played in The Bar-Kays and backed Isaac Hayes. Matt Murphy is a veteran blues guitarist. Blues performers were featured in the cast as well, with John Lee Hooker backed by harmonica player Big Walter Horton and pianist Pinetop Perkins, playing "Boom Boom" on Maxwell Street.
As the band developed at Saturday Night Live, pianist Paul Shaffer was part of the act and was cast in the film. However, due to contractual obligations with SNL, he was unable to participate. So actor-musician Murphy Dunne (whose father, George Dunne, was the Cook County Board President) was hired to take his role.[4] Shaffer later did appear in Blues Brothers 2000
FUNKY NASSAU debuted on the Billboard 100 chart #94, Peaked #15, and stayed on for 14 Weeks They released an album entitled Funky Nassau in 1971 on Alston Records (a subsidiary of Atlantic Records), and the track "Funky Nassau - Part I" became a hit single in the U.S., peaking at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and #7 on the Billboard Black Singles chart. The same track reached #31 in the UK Singles Chart in March 1974.
The Beginning of the End was a group from The Bahamas that consisted of three brothers, Raphael, Leroy & Frank Munnings and a fourth member on bass Fred Henfield. Their only hit "Funky Nassau" on Billboard's Hot 100 was a lyrical ode to their home city. From its junkanoo beat to its island brass parts mixed with American funk, its description of "mini-skirts, maxi-skirts and Afro hairdos,"the song extolled the virtues of the group's Bahamian base.
A surprise hit, it reached the top 15 on both the pop and R&B charts. It was a success for Henry Stone during his days at Atlantic Records, and the money he earned helped him start up TK Records in Miami shortly thereafter.

Blues Brothers 2000
Main article: Blues Brothers 2000
With Landis again directing, the sequel to The Blues Brothers was made in 1998. It fared considerably worse than its predecessor with fans and critics, though it is more ambitious in terms of musical performances by the band and has a more extensive roster of guest artists than the first film. The story picks up 18 years later with Elwood being released from prison, and learning that his brother, Jake Blues, has died. He is once again prevailed upon to save some orphans, and with a 10-year-old boy named Buster Blues (J. Evan Bonifant) in tow, Elwood again sets about the task of reuniting his band. He recruits some new singers, Mighty Mack (John Goodman) and Cab (Joe Morton), a policeman who was Curtis' son. All the original band members are found, as well as some performers from the first film, including Aretha Franklin and James Brown. There are dozens of other guest performers, including Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Junior Wells, Lonnie Brooks, Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett, Isaac Hayes, Sam Moore, Taj Mahal and Jonny Lang, Blues Traveler, as well as an all-star supergroup led by B. B. King called the Louisiana Gator Boys. On the run from the police, Russian mafia and a racist militia, the band eventually ends up in Louisiana, where they enter a battle of the bands overseen by a voodoo practitioner named Queen Moussette (Erykah Badu). During a song by the Blues Brothers (a Caribbean number called "Funky Nassau"), a character played by Paul Shaffer asks to cut in on keyboards, which Murph allows. This marks the first time in a film that the Blues Brothers play with their original keyboardist.
Dan Aykroyd (Elwood Blues), J. Evan Bonifant (Buster), John Goodman (Mighty Mack McTeer) and Joe Morton (Cabel) and cameos by B. B. King, James Brown, Sam Moore, Junior Wells, Lonnie Brooks, Willie Hall, Matt Murphy, Aretha Franklin, Donald Dunn, Steve Cropper, Tom Malone, Jonny Lang, Wilson Pickett, Steve Lawrence and Erykah Badu.
People who watch the blues brothers movies and criticize the plot completely missed the point. It is and always was about the MUSIC first.
blues brothers 1st was soo great , but in versio 2000 idk maybe 1 or 2 great songs :( (for me )
@@redeye8386 That is your opinion that not everyone agrees with. Almost eveyrone agrees that the first movie was better, but many people disagree with you that the second movie was unimpressive. It was fun and had great musical numbers, despite not being so magnificent as the first one.
Still watching for that fact, the legendary actors and performers are just a bonus.
No Belushi .... No Blues Brothers.
So just release a CD....
Both the Blues Brothers movies are great in different ways. The most important thing they did for blues players throughout the world was revamp and or keep them in work when things were on the rack. God bless Dan akroyd and John landis for there vision and all involve in the cult films, simply brilliant

And hey, way to go on liking your own hissy fits 😂
Erykah Badu is simply fantastic! Just WOW!
I agree
She sure was beautiful in this
The blues brothers films are so funny and they made some decent music everybody needs someone to love
People who hate this movie can't even deny how great the music was in this film. In fact, the music is the only thing that holds up today.
Dan Burke I agree, and so does a critic who reviewed this film, as well as a fan of The Blues Brothers. His name is ERod, and he is The Blockbuster Buster.
Just in case you were curious: ua-cam.com/video/fEGuImgfPwE/v-deo.html
I agree the music is awesome… The rest of the movie is very difficult to watch… Unlike the original in which the music and the movie were both good…
Old school music holds every thing up
.The original was written only if Aretha Franklin would act.The she came back .She didn't want to do first one . This character was written only for her and she came back, from thanks to be heaven.
people that use the word hate need counseling.
I remember my neighbor gave me this movie on vhs, when I was like 6 or 7, I remember constantly rewinding all the songs over and over again, this song was my favorite.
I bought the 45 and played it over and over and over. Reminds me of a particular summer in my life. I was still in junior high when this came out.
"...has not been, is not, nor will ever be a part of this band's repertoire."
Mark M famous last words before her majesty black majick made him change his tune...
...and the scene should have ended there.
Eryka Badu: *Flicks her fingers*
🤣🤣🤣
Huh? Trolling blues fans?
When you think that it started out as a comedy routine on Saturday Night Live. It turned into a masterful group that gave us great movies and great music!
First clip of this movie I've ever seen,I can never unsee it.
You know, this movie is oftentimes batshit crazy, especially compared to the first one, but the music is still great and hands down this is my favorite song. Not just because Joe Morton and John Goodman are two of my favorite actors
This sequel grew on me..I had to get over the fact that Belushi had died and a sub had to be found. Goodman did a good job.
Batshit crazy!?
Like the first one was the epitome of sanity?
@@steveread4021 compared to this? Yes.
An undersung film for its faithfulness to the Blues Brothers (1980). We won't see as magnificent a cast as in this movie ever again.
Man 🤦🏿♂️ its crazy n they have all the tools n resources to do it better
This is an awesome version of the original! God I love those horns!!!
Don't sleep on that piano solo.
I was never a fan of Paul, but he does play an awesome solo!
I have this song stuck in my head for 3 years now
Say what you want about this movie but I will forever be grateful 'cause it introduced me to Erykah Badu
I watched this on and the first one last night. Never gets old.
Still one of the best songs in the whole entire movie. I liked Ghost Riders in the Sky too and John The Revelator! 👍🏽👌🏽
For me John the Revelator pips the post, but this was great too. The movie was good too, maybe not quite as good at the first, but good. The first movie I liked all the music and every song. There was one track in this one I didn't like, but hey, them's still some pretty good odds.
@@alexhogg5787 oh yeah. I remember watching the original with my Dad! Awesome times!
I liked looking for a fox 😂
@@MonstehDinosawr lol! Yeah that one was nice in a myriad of ways.
This one had a great final act as well as the song being played during the end credits.
Such a great version it makes me smile every time I hear it
Sooooooo funky and groovy at the same time!!!!!! 😩😩😩😩🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This was always my favorite song in this movie and it's just so damn funky. I will always love this song!
Me too... absolutely love it and the whole choreography...
Had a buddy of mine put this song up for me during karaoke 🎤. I surprised a few who didn't think I could pull it off. This is one of my favorite songs from this movie.
The end sends me chills every time! I close my eyes and let the chills flow in harmony!

I really wish jake could have been in this movie rip j blues 😭😭
michael jackson I agree adding a stranger and a kid to the mix just made it glaringly obvious that jake blues was NOT there ...sigh...😪
John Belushi would NEVER agree to have ANYTHING to do with this PIECE OF SHIT movie...
@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854 idk there were some pretty good scenes but replacing belushi with Goodman and that kid just made it glaringly obvious belushi is gone forever I still believe he was murdered his friends and his widow said he hated needles as do i... rip john belushi
@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854 no truer words have ever been spoken!
@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854 I believe, if John Belushi was still with us, this second Blues Brothers movie would have been much much different... Stay safe
Almost jumped out of my seat when they struck up this great Bahamian song!
Very much looking forward to the thrid installment in the trilogy - Blues Brothers 2020!
Ah yes where everyone is dead and nobody listens to blues anymore
@@Elerra303 I am nobody
best scene in the entire movie...........
I absolutely love when Paul Shaffer asks permission to play the solo. He was meant to be in the original but he was busy.
It’s blow my mind as a kid at the time that Paul Shaffer was in the blues brothers 2000 let alone snl the only time I knew was letterman
Paul is a ham
Paul actually had “contractual obligations” that he was unable to get out off and that why he did not appear in the first movie.
I don’t know I honestly think that John Goodman was not given enough credit in this movie. The man has got an incredible set of pipes when it comes to singing and he did a hell of a job every time he sang in this movie. It was a little bit corny and definitely not the same with Jake being gone but nevertheless this was a decent movie and I think it was worth it.
Totally agree
Never saw it, but, maybe one day, I will. I loved the first one.
I agree
Agreed and at least for me, I feel the most underrated performance was Joe Morton. I literally had no idea he could sing and especially that well!
Indeed!
Watchn this movie again for the 4th time as I'm writing this..love it..and how cool is mr Paul Schaeffer from David Letterman show..miss Badu is hot too..lol..gotta love the car crash seen..and Mr.BB King,the great.
Ray when a voodoo lady ask you if you play something Caribbean..you say yes
😂😂😂😂. Good one! And probably very true.

Joey.....now THAT was funny! Thanks!!😂😂😂

Love this movie so much. The essence of my childhood.

It will be 50 years old in 2030
First time I've seen and heard this version. Thanks for bringing me here and thank you Raphael Munnings for all the info.

I was floored when Joe Morton belted out that first verse.

Man I remember when I first saw this movie I couldn't enough of it because if this song and scene.
That keyboard solo by Paul Shafer was sick!
You better believe it
When I started watching this I worried it'd be one of those dodgy sequels that wouldn't match the original.... I was wrong. I loved it as much as the first one 😊
Facts
while this movie isn't very good i love the music they do. Joe Morton and John Goodman are two actors i adore and to find they did this movie was a gem for me. this is probably my favorite song from the movie.

Nassau Bahamas baby. Big ups to the Munings family

I was watching this movie on a lark, once, on tv, and when they played this song, I thought, WOW!! I haven't heard this song since 1972!! I bought the 45 when I got out of 7th grade in 71, and I played it so much until it broke. Then, out of sight, out of mind, until this movie. I like both versions.

Blues Brothers 2000 may not be near as good as the original, but the music is still great😊
Love this movie andlove this music. Like Mr. Schaeffer too😨
My wife hate for me to put this movie on because I turn all the way and just groove!!!
She should join in.
Take her shirt off and seduce her on your dance floor, she'll love dancing with you. :) Foreplay isn't a golf term.
Alonzo Banks 😂😂😂😂😂
Probably because it's an awful movie with amazing music and it's not the music she's balking at, but rather the bits in between.
Great What you MUST remember is these movies; reinvented and kept Musicians careers alive. The movies are about entertainment and optimism thanks to the great comedian actors Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi producer john Landis and all band members and cameo's.God bless them all.
jassabuzzzzzz ! eryka so powerful!
My favorite scene!!!!
Favorite part of this movie for me!!!!
That was done some funky
The Blues Brothers Rock ,
Love this one
I didn't knew Erykah Badu until I saw this movie and man... what a voice! She is brilliant.
The plot and even the movie don't really matter...the tunes make this movie. When I played trumpet, my soul band did this one...and it always got asses on the dance floor.
Love it ❤️
Cool music.
This is my kind of music
When I was a kid, I was at the phase of anything that wasn't hip hop was wack to me. I'm not going to lie though, I liked this and I sang the songs in this movie because it was so damn catchy and good. How could you not? Plus, Erykah Badu killed the last verse. Movie wasn't good but damn, it had some groovy ass tracks.
LMFAO Dead ass, I wanted to be the kid in that movie. lol
Movie wasn't good? Yes it's not likenfirat but still a better movie than MCU shit of today.
That makes sense my dude. Hip Hop’s origins came from Music like this and Earth Wind and Fire. This is good stuff!
Hip hop Is the successor to R&B.
